This is brilliant. Another challenge, similar to "Something about me", but not quite.
Choose 10 favourite books. Then browse the master list and choose 3 books or more to read between May 1st and November 30th. Easy Peasy. Click on the pictures for details and for joining.
My list(I've looked at the list so far and people already added some of my favourites so maybe I'll try and choose different ones)
The Ruby in the Smoke by Philip Pullman
The Tiger in the Well by Philip Pullman
Charlotte's web by E.B. White
Momo by Michael Ende
The Snapper by Roddy Doyle
The Blue Girl by Charles De Lint
Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters
To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf
The clan of the cave bear by J.M.Auel
Ronja by Astrid Lindgren
A very random mix. Some children's, some classics, some (very) adult fiction...something for everyone and books I think should be in that master list.
For what I can see now the books I'd like to read are:
The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
Fingersmith by Sarah Waters
Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer
Watership Down by Richard Adams
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. LeGuin
The Onion Girl by Charles de Lint
Life Of Pi by Yann Martel
Castle Waiting: Volume 1 by Linda Medley
Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo by Obert Skye
The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
The Changeling Sea by Patricia A. McKillip
I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith
Of these I only own 3 so this is definitely a provisional list to be changed or updated shortly before the challenge starts!

I've resisted this one so far, but who knows how long that'll last :P
I'm reading The Ruby in the Smoke soonish. I'm looking forward to it! And Momo is a book that I've always wanted to read.
You have lots of wonderful books in that list of potential choices. I hope you enjoy the ones you pick!
Great list! Can't wait to read your reviews on them, Valentina. :)
